NBA World Reacts To Kristaps Porzingis Trade

Many people reacted to the news on social media.

StatMuse: "Atlanta Hawks:

— Trae Young
— Kristaps Porzingis
— Zaccharie Risacher
— Jalen Johnson
— Clint Capela
— Dyson Daniels
— Onyeka Okongwu

Sleeper in the East"

Bill Simmons: "Thanks to 2024 NBA World Champion Kristaps Porzingis!!!!!!!"

@LegionHoops: "The NBA’s second apron is ruthless.

Celtics have now had to part ways with Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday. Brutal."

Bobby Marks: "Trading Kristaps Porzingis now puts Boston under the second apron.

The Porzingis and Jrue Holiday trades save Boston a projected $180M in tax penalties."

Joel Moran: "Celtics traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis for:

- Anfernee Simons
- Georges Niang
- Three 2nd round picks

W or L?"

Yossi Gozlan: "The Boston Celtics have reduced their luxury tax penalty by nearly $210 million by trading Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang.

$238 million in total savings so far and are now $4.5 million below the second apron."

NBA University: "Trae Young
Dyson Daniels
Jalen Johnson
Onyeka Okongwu
Kristaps Porzingis

Risacher, LeVert, #13 pick, etc...

Hawks are honestly quite a well built roster with some upside in a (very) down East next year. Really nice opportunistic acquisition for them."

Porzingis will join a Hawks roster led by All-Star point guard Trae Young.

They have missed the NBA playoffs in each of the previous two seasons.
